Mei Changsu remained calm and unhurried, browsing through the Chat Group's chat history all the way to Jinling.
Time passed.
Jinling was almost in sight.
Mei Changsu let out a long breath, rubbed his temples to ease his fatigue and dull his headache.
He had finally finished reading all the chat history.
He had to admit, although there weren't many people in this Chat Group, there really was a lot of chat history!
After reading it all, Mei Changsu had also gained some understanding of every member, at least learning some basic information about them.
The most mysterious, and also the most terrifying, was undoubtedly that "Immortal Venerable."
That Immortal Venerable was an unparalleled existence on a completely different level from the other members.
That was why the Immortal Venerable rarely came out to chat.
It was only natural. The gap was simply too great; they had no common ground for casual conversation.
Besides, the others in the group probably couldn't chat with the Immortal Venerable with an ordinary state of mind, either.
Fortunately, although the Immortal Venerable didn't chat much with the group members and seemed rather aloof, Mei Changsu thought the Immortal Venerable's personality was undoubtedly very, very good.
The Immortal Venerable was like the stabilizing pillar of this Chat Group, inspiring everyone's reverence and trust.
Turning the Saint Spirit Stone over in his hand, Mei Changsu sorted out his thoughts and immediately decided that he, too, would cultivate immortality!
Before, his only reason for clinging to life had been to clear the Chiyan Army's name.
But although he didn't fear death, he didn't want to die, either!
He had lost a great deal, but at the same time, he had gained a great deal.
Fei Liu, Lin Chen, and all the brothers in the Jiangzuo Alliance, among others, were people he couldn't bear to part with and didn't want to leave behind.
Because of the Fire Cold Toxin, he had no choice. He couldn't escape his fate and was destined to die.
Now that he had a chance to live, Mei Changsu naturally didn't want to, and was unwilling to, give up his life.
If someone hadn't lost all hope for life, surely they wouldn't want to die, right?
Mei Changsu clenched his fist, bright light gleaming in his deep eyes.
[Qilin Talent]: I am Mei Changsu. Greetings, immortals.
[Qilin Talent]: My body was too weak, so I fainted earlier. I sincerely apologize.
[Qilin Talent]: @Judicial God; True Monarch, I would also like to trade Saint Spirit Stones for an immortal cultivation method and resources.
Mei Changsu explained why he hadn't spoken earlier, then asked to trade with Yang Jian for an immortal cultivation method and resources.
As expected of the Immortal Venerable. Just a few Saint Spirit Stones given away casually had brought him such a great benefit.
At that moment, Mei Changsu was filled with respect and gratitude toward the Immortal Venerable.
Perhaps, to the Immortal Venerable, these Saint Spirit Stones were nothing special. But to an ordinary mortal like him, they were supreme treasures that could send him soaring to the heavens!
The Immortal Venerable's indifference to them and whether he himself felt respect and gratitude were two entirely different matters.
The Immortal Venerable might not care, but that didn't mean he could be so thoughtless.
[Call Me Group Owner]: Eh? It's our Sect Master Mei! You're finally online. So you fainted, huh? I was wondering! (rolls eyes.jpg)
[Maoshan Heavenly Master]: It's fine. Once you enter the Qi Refining stage, you can cleanse your sinews and marrow, and all illnesses and injuries will heal.
[Xiongba]: Exactly. As long as Sect Master Mei enters the Qi Refining stage, the Fire Cold Toxin can be completely cured.
[Prince Changqin]: This Fire Cold Toxin is quite miraculous. It can save a life and take one, making it the most extraordinary thing in the Langya World.
[Maoshan Heavenly Master]: It certainly is miraculous. Without the Snow Scorpion Insect, Sect Master Mei probably wouldn't have survived.
[Xiongba]: Perhaps I can study this exotic insect. My Tianxia Hui has now become an immortal cultivation sect. We've already started growing spirit plants and keeping Divine Beasts.
[Maoshan Heavenly Master]: Ah, this... Chief Xiong actually has the Fire Qilin in captivity?
[Xiongba]: We're currently researching the Fire Qilin's value. No matter what, it's a Divine Beast.
Xiong Ba had slaughtered the Divine Dragon, one of the Four Divine Beasts, and sent its corpse to Sect Master Baiyue for study, obtaining an immortal scripture and quite a few cultivation resources in return.
Now, only the Fire Qilin remained of the Four Divine Beasts, so Xiong Ba naturally had to look after it carefully-and study the Qilin's value while he was at it.
After all, the Fire Qilin might be weak, but no matter what, it was still a Divine Beast!
Even in the Cultivation World, Divine Beasts like qilins were exceedingly rare.
Unfortunately, the Phoenix and Black Tortoise had both been hunted. Although he had already killed Di Shitian and Xiao Sanshao and obtained the Phoenix Blood and Black Tortoise Blood, they couldn't compare in value to living Divine Beasts.
Shi Yaoyao had uploaded every group member's basic information to the Group File, so Xiong Ba was very interested in the Fire Cold Toxin, the most notorious poison in the Langya World.
He was even more interested in the Snow Scorpion Insect, wondering whether it could be raised into a spirit insect.
By now, Xiong Ba had made basic immortal cultivation methods available throughout the Tianxia Hui. Of course, they only taught Qi Refining. To obtain techniques for higher realms, one naturally had to make contributions.
Xiong Ba was now managing the Tianxia Hui entirely according to the model of an immortal cultivation sect.
The entire Fengyun World now fell under the Tianxia Hui's rule, and Xiong Ba had even built a new sect headquarters on Kunlun Mountain, the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Mountains.
Of course, since he had established an immortal cultivation sect, the name Tianxia Hui had to change. After all, it had previously operated as a gang.
Xiong Ba named his sect the Bantian Immortal Sect!
The name meant that Xiong Ba would rule the world!
It was domineering, and it was related to his own name.
Xiong Ba was extremely pleased with it.
[Maoshan Heavenly Master]: Chief Xiong is still one step ahead of me, as always.
[Xiongba]: Lin Jiu, you could take over as head of the Maoshan Sect and, like me, rule the entire world!
[Maoshan Heavenly Master]: Ahem, this humble Daoist has no such grand ambitions. Besides, we have no shortage of techniques or resources now. I prefer the life I have.
[Xiongba]: All right. Everyone has different aspirations. These days, I'm quite interested in running an immortal sect!
[Xiongba]: By the way, I've disbanded the Tianxia Hui and established an immortal sect called the "Bantian Immortal Sect." What do you think? Isn't it domineering?!
[Call Me Group Owner]: With a name that arrogant, Xiong Ba, aren't you afraid someone will beat you up? (smirks.jpg)
[Maoshan Heavenly Master]: It's certainly domineering, but maybe a little too domineering. (speechless.jpg)
[Xiongba]: The Bantian Immortal Sect rules the entire world now. I think the name suits us perfectly: rule the world!
[Judicial God]: @Qilin Talent; All right. We can trade directly.
Another deal had come along, so Yang Jian naturally wouldn't turn it down.
Although he already had quite a few Saint Spirit Stones, Yang Jian's view was that they still weren't enough!
[Qilin Talent]: Thank you, True Monarch. (cups hands.jpg)
Mei Changsu then sent the Saint Spirit Stones to Yang Jian in a red packet.
Yang Jian didn't play favorites, either. He gave Mei Changsu the same cultivation method and resources he had given Li Hanyi and the others.
